Hair brushed and tossed into a quick plait, she nearly sinks into his arms as they wrap around her in their morning greeting. Her head tilts into his hand, opening it up for the soft kiss to her temple – and then she’s stepping up on her tiptoes to press a kiss to his lips back in response. “My entire life? I suppose we should get going then, hm?” But already he’s taking her hand, guiding her down the stairs, and she offers her own good mornings to the students – patting Bastien’s hand every time they were stopped for questions.
Finally, however, they’re out on the street and she’s clutching his hand gently, shoulder brushing against his arm while they walk, a chimed laugh leaving her at his declaration. “To share it, my love.” She comments, as if she’s done it every morning since they’d met. A routine, that’s what it was. But nothing about what came next was routine, and her eyes are vibrant and bright as he guides her through the crowded streets, ensuring she doesn’t get lost into the flow of it.
“I do love the grand and noble.” A hum of a laugh leaves her, her head tilting to look over toward him and squint a bit through the sunlight. “A palace? If I wasn’t intrigued before, I am now.” She winks to him, and lets him continue to lead the way.

storm in the sky, fire in the street
if there's nothing but pain, put it on me
